Twilight Trails reshapes GO Battle League with massive move revamp

Pokémon GO’s Twilight Trails Season, launching September 8, 2026, brings sweeping GO Battle League move changes, buffing underused attacks (Take Down, Infestation, Brine, Bulldoze, Draining Kiss) and adjusting several staples (Bite, Shadow Ball, Rage Fist, etc.). More than 30 Pokémon gain new moves, including Raichu and Alolan Raichu with Volt Tackle, Gallade with Sacred Sword, Drill Run for Skarmory, and Earth Power for Lugia, expanding coverage across types. Exact energy values were not fully disclosed; changes are described as power or energy adjustments (Take Down sees a large power boost; Draining Kiss gains a guaranteed DEF boost; some moves like Mirror Coat and High Horsepower see energy-cost reductions). The meta is expected to shift quickly, with Skarmory and Lugia gaining new options, Darkrai potentially rising with Sucker Punch, and Lickilicky taking a hit as Body Slam becomes costlier while Shadow Ball weakens. Early impressions suggest Volt Tackle could be a standout addition for Raichu, though final impact depends on the live-season balance of energy costs and move power.
